Hey everyone here at solaire or whatever the academy is I am posting this at I want to talk about the people who think this game is all about winning and the first thing I have to say to that is that its not its about having fun bonding with your friends making yourself a better person but the ones who say this game is all about winning really throw that off cause they will have less friends in this game than the ones who think this game is just for fun and should not be taken serious because if this game is taken serious where the hell would all the fun go and I know we all have our reasons to say if this game is all about fun or if its all about winning. Make sure to reply to this topic on your thoughts about these people

Well in my opinion I think the people have the right to take the game seriously I mean the game is mean't to be a children's card game something that should not be taken seriously, but the game can be really be fun and people can take this game competitively to get that adrenaline. I have taken the game pretty competitively and It was a pretty good time, But on the other hand the people sometimes need to see what makes them want to take the game seriously, they might sometime forget why they take the game seriously and sometimes break the Number one rule in this game: TO HAVE FUN. this is my opinion on the topic and I hope this gives some thoughts

Well, while people may in fact agree that some people take the game a little too far when it comes to competitiveness I also disagree that the game is solely about "bonding" and "friendship" and whatever. This isn't an anime, okay? Yes, as Chaos said this is a children's card game but there are people who want to be a bit competitive and have a bit of competition, and want to win, why not? Even as a childrens card game even CHILDREN wanna win, and if you want to take that right away from them you are taking away a bit of human nature. It is human nature to want to win, and some may want it more than others. Yes you may bond and have friends and stuff I completely agree, I made a couple of my own friends off of YGO, but I do not agree completely with your sentiment. This may be a bit repetitive now but you must understand in a game where there is to be one winner and one loser, everyone (or at least most) who play will want to be on the winning side. If they DONT have fun while doing it, then they ruin the game. But there is no saying you can want to win very very badly and still have fun at the game, I mean look at me! I gamble when I play and I have a ton of fun, and I try my hardest to win in every game I play, so I am on both sides of the spectrum. My thoughts, thanks!

In my opinion, the competitiveness of the game has taken away from the fun. Where is the fun in running 4 decks to win? I believe it staunches creativity. Most people that play competitively tend to be jerks. And due to that nature, all sorts of undesirable things have occurred(stealing, bullying, cheating, ect) I played the circuit for years, but became bored with the aura at the tourneys. Because of that you see more people going to alternative card games seeking that fun that is missing. Anyone that thinks that the meta is fun, lacks any imagination. My humble opinion.

I think people take the game too seriously and with what cards we're given it's not easy to make a 'fun' deck the mindset of the company is to make decks that can win and that in turn influences the minds of players to want to win. So the company makes ridiculously Overpowered decks that ultimately become the 'meta' and almost all the other decks become nearly irrelevant. Konami also shows some reluctance to hit some meta archetypse to continue making money off of that archetype (such as the only nekroz card being hit was brionac and even then it was only semi-limited). Now while there's nothing wrong with a company trying to make some money the fact that they let the archetype go almost completely scot free while i almost NEVER see Qli or BA even with their new cards anymore. So yeah playing a maybe five minute game definetly takes away from the fun of the game because you simply don't have the time to have fun with it... some of the most fun i've ever had in a duel that duel took 45 minutes and we both almost decked out but it was such a good game it didn't even matter to me because i had fun! I really wish we could have more games like that because that's what this game needs.

Hey, all. I know I've not been tested, but I dueled a guy on DB yesterday who was playing Cardians, but I don't remember his name (if you could reply to this, that'd be cool). Anyway, he asked if I wanted to join, and I decided why the hell not. I was an admin for the very dead Frost and Flame Academy a few years ago and had fun with that while it lasted, so I thought, "why not?"

A bit about myself: I'm Wow... or WTPS for short. I've been at a lot of acads, namely North Academy and Gladiator Duel Academy, which some of you may know me from. I've filled a bunch of staff positions over the course of my academy... career (?) such as teacher and admin. I like playing LoL and hearthstone. For those of you who care, I'm currently attempting to climb to legend in Hearthstone and …

Hey, I feel weird posting an introduction because it seems so impersonal but you know I gotta meet some of y'all one way or another haha. Well, my name is James/Cole (I get called both) or if you want to call me by my username thats fine. I'm new to the clan scene and forums like this the only other groups that are similar that I'm in is Zodiac. Even though this whole clan thing is new to me …

So yeah, I'm Uther-Pendragon. Don't ask about the name, I don't feel like explaining it to people. All I ask is that if you want to challenge me to duel arena, please do so over DN. I'm too lazy to get a screenshot client, and it's more convenient this way.

Hello everyone my name is Volts the Jolteon! I love hard rock and metal because there are ELECTRIC guitars. Basically anything that has to due with thunder, lightning, or storms.

I just thought I should do one of these even though I'm not the introduction type. Sup, yes, I like Xenoverse, I love Demigra, overall I'm a DBZ and general anime/manga fan and I have an entire large library of japanese anime music from anime i've watched and a couple from shows I have not seen.
